I would really recommend listening to this one while reading, just because this exchange really isn't the same without this music. It's one of my favourite tracks, as its so welcoming and peaceful, like how home should be. It really captures the feel of how life would be in this house.
oh ok cool
has anyone ever had a butterscotch cinammon pie? I kinda want to try some now. even though I don't really like cinammon all that much ha ha ha
though actually I've seen some of the photos online and it looks very similar to a gypsy tart
hmmm
yeah i totally want to celebrate falling down a hole into a land where everything wants to kill me, never being able to see my friends or family ever again
whole snails, not just the slime
she didn't just vanish like this screenshot suggests but quickly walked off to the right. TORIEL IS VERY EAGER TO SHOW YOU AROUND THE HOUSE
i missed it again but she holds your hand as she guides you down to the door
ok the little sprite of her rubbing your head is very cute
and then she quickly runs off again to save the pie
T just going to be irritated about this fact forever
though idk it just looks like a reed to me
i dont want that room i want this room
that's one bright looking flower
i mean of course
this is sweet but also idk kind of sad at the same time. Just from the way Toriel used a 'she' pronoun makes me that she's talking about herself here.
was a good joke though
hahahaha chairiel
oh my god look you can see its little eye there
toriel you shouldn't snack in the evenings, its bad for you
I-It's n-not like I LIKE YOU or anything, b-baka!
awesome
haha ok thats pretty cool
:O!
hahahahaha this cracks me up more than it should
anyway lets keep trucking
hmmmm
[Spoilers!] So already even back here, you've got hints about how Toriel lived with other people and how one of them was most likely her child. Plus the flower seeds thing is very much a big hint towards Flowey too. It even looks similar to Flowey. I don't think anyone would ever put the two and two together though, at least not this early on.
boring
This will say a different message depending on how you've played the game so far. It's you! is the right one you want if you want to be going the pacisfist route. If I went Genocide route the text here would be: It's me, Torra.
Oh! Neat.
Back to my room
Not enough kids rooms are blood red these days, whats that all about
hahahaha
I reckon T is one of those odd children who isn't interested in most things that children are supposed to be into. Would much rather be falling down holes into weird monster underworlds
I wonder if this is what Toriel was talking about with the making up room for certain items conversation. If you decided to like overload on monster candies/spider doughnuts or something
wheres the tv at im bored
i want more pie
come on bogtrotter, cookie cooked it up special
then why have a stovetop?
gingerbread monsters sounds like the cutest thing right now
BUT WHAT BRAND?
THIS IS IMPORTANT
going to do everything else apart from talk to toriel
it's better than "Cave" or "Cavern" at least
OH TORIEL
look at her little reading glasses
i like to imagine toriel as a middle-aged goat woman who's back has started to go and just wants to dote on everyone by cooking pies all the time.
like she's already prepared this while i was friggin sleeping, this is how excited Toriel is to have you around
haha no not really
i could totally see toriel teaching young kids
YEAH THATS GREAT TORIEL CAN I GO NOW
Toriel like :< ???
Though to be fair, Toriel really hasn't told you much. She just saw you fall down and is like great well you can live with me, except she never really explained that to T at any point. She was just too busy talking about puzzles and pies that the whole 'oh you can't go back up to the human world lol' was never really explained, well at all. Toriel just assumes that you knew that already so when you're like "uh when can I go back home??" she's like, you can't? obviously? You're gonna live with me, I thought that would be OK?
i mean you're great toriel but ive already solved all the puzzles here so
oh yes please i love snail facts
huh no i didnt know that
sure is now not uh changing the subject or anything but how do i leave...?
This is what Toriel will say after you've hassled her twice about leaving
She closes her book and then gets up and runs off
well whatever
the BEST YEAR
i reloaded :B
this is before I went to bed and got the pie. You want to make sure you sleep first before you hassle Toriel otherwise you'll NEVER get a slice of butterscotch-cinnamon pie
undertale: GO TO SLEEP
SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK
why do you look so worried about that toriel, isn't that a good thing? maybe its undertale telling you NO YOU SHOULD REALLY SLEEP NOW
then bla bla same convo as before
...is that a joke??
was it???
im still not sure if i was supposed to laugh or not
hmmm im sure the flower wasn't that red last time
anyway we went to sleep, got the pie and are going to go down and follow the only place Toriel could've gone to. Which is down in the basement! This isn't at all ominous
wheeee
I can't find a copy of the music here, but home cuts out immediately and its all very quiet. Every now and then there will bit a little ominous rumbling noise but that's all you really get here.
It's definietly You Shouldn't Be Here kind of music, like THE WEST WING IS FORBIDDEN kind of shit
Toriel is just standing here
dead eyes, toriel has seen this scenario before
This legit creeped me out first time I played, I DONT LIKE RED TEXT OK
essentially we're slapping Toriel in the face here, as we're just being a stubborn (DETERMINED) child who's just ignoring everything Toriel is saying because we just want to go home, but Toriel is just trying to do what she thinks is best for you and so you get a rare bit of Toriel anger here.
dead eyes again!
Now she's trying to cut you off by acting like you're the same as the other humans who ended up dying
though of course we're not because we are the MAIN CHARACTER Toriel, cmon catch up
Heartache is another one of my favourites just because there is so much emotion behind it. I mean right now your surrogate mother is asking you to kill her so she knows you will be strong enough to make it back alive. [spoilers incoming] This gets even MORE screwed up when you realise she is essentially knows you will have to kill Asgore and could potentially kill lots of other monsters when she lets you through, but she's willing to do that because she loves you that much that she will do whatever she thinks is best for you. Just AGH Toriel
because I really like this track, here are some remixes:
i feel like that should says 'knows whats best for you'
when I see the word aloof i always kind of think of both slakoths when theyre 'loafing around' and also someone whos just trying not to notice that you're there - so now im just imagining toriel leaning against the exit looking everywhere but at you, like yeah im just chilling i dont see you there little one
yes i know thats not what aloof is supposed to mean
DO YOU HAVE ANY FAVOURITE BOOKS??
this surprised me that you can actually run away, which it SHOULDNT DO. of course Toriel is going to let you escape! She wants you too! But I've got it so ingrained that boss battles = no escape, that on my first playthrough I didn't even try to and ended up getting killed. :B
I left and healed at the save point and then came back
Toriel is like oh youre back >(
Toriel: YOU CANT BEAT ME
Amethyst: I DONT CARE
oh wait i thought i healed maybe i didn't
OUCH
as you can see im NOT GREAT AT DODGING
first playthrough i was so stumped because i wanted to win but I didn't want to hurt toriel and then i kept doing TALK and I just kept getting this message like the game was telling me NOPE YOU CANT TALK, ITS NOT GONNA HELP
and then i did a fight command and just let it miss because i didnt actually want to fight her and I saw this dialogue come up which was different
ah see now i mustve left and came back
the cursor moves from left to right, you 'want' to get the cursor in between the green bit if you want to get a good hit. LIKE IF YOU REALLY WANTED TO HURT TORIEL ANYWAY
jesus christ self i need to practise more
lol 6 health
and it was this point that i was like yessss ive found a way around having to fight her
i mean i might have to soon, im on 4 health
AGH
jesus
now she can't even look at you
all of her attacks just go down either side, so you can sit in the middle without being hit. Throughout the fight she's been properly fighting you and trying to get you to stop, but because you've just stood there and taken it without fighting back, it's just making her lose the will to fight you, because who want's to attack a child that's just literally just standing there and letting you do it because they don't want to hurt you
I'm imagining T just giving her this really sad but understanding look which just makes Toriel feel really guilty. Like I don't think T is looking scared or anything right now
and now you're making her feel guilty for doing all of this, even though she's doing it for YOU, why can't you understand!
and now instead of being angry we're just making her sad
she's literally begging you to not leave
the little *... are to show that she isn't even pretending to fight you now and has just stopped
I know you would Toriel :<
yup you can still literally attack her at any point if you wanted
:<
[spoiley theories] I wonder if she's talking about the other children as well that fell down? As T isn't the first one. She must've let those ones go too. No wonder Toriel is so super over protective in that case. :<
:(
This also reiterates what I said earlier about how Toriel is just a lonely goat moomin who really wants some company, and seeing as she always wanted to be a teacher, of course she would love to have a small child who she could look after and teach. She knows though that any child that comes down is always going to want to leave because of those exact reasons that they would feel trapped down in the ruins and part of them I think would always blame Toriel for that. I'm sure that's a burden Toriel could live with, seeing as she's just doing what she thinks is best, but deep down she knows that this isn't really what is best for you, but just wishes it was.
I have deep feels for Toriel, she's more scared for you than you are for you hahaha.
im not sure why she says this. Maybe she's doing it to make you more determined to leave? Like she's not giving you that option of "safety" back with her - Toriel is just essentially telling you that you have to be strong to make it outside, and you won't be strong if you keep relying on her as a safety net. Or at least that's what I'm going to take from this anyway.
the hugs helped my crying but they didn't help me find my rolling pin
you can only turn around once she's gone :<
I SUPER LOVE LONG PATH WAYS!
that is an excessively large doorway
JUST WHO I WANTED TO SEE
nope fuck this im out
except you cant leave
:B
i mean dont the froggets count as well, and what about napstablook, c'mon flowey
i was very happy though first time that I was able to wind up Flowey about this because I did feel very clever for figuring out a way of fighting Toriel without actually hurting her
I hated Flowey, I thought he was such a little shit. I mean he still is, but I kind of like him for that reason now :D
